Bible Verse of The Day – 1-28-20

Luke 12:15 (NKJV) 15 And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”

A covetous life is awful.

If we are covetous, we are always going to feel unsatisfied. We are always going to be wanting and needing something else. We will never be happy.

We will always be watching for people with something better than what we have, and then we will be depressed and miserable until we get it. And sometimes we don’t ever get it.

Jesus says, “beware”.

We don’t need what they have. God will give us what we need and what is good for us.

If we truly trust Him, we will not be worrying about such things. Instead, we will spend our time being thankful for what we have and sharing some of it with others.

We don’t need a lot here. Earth is not our home. This is our work field. We are stationed here for a short time and then we go home. That is where we lay up our treasures, in Heaven, our eternal home.

Matthew 6:19-20 (NKJV) 19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

Life is not in the abundance of our possessions; but in loving one another, in giving, and in helping each other.

Stop looking at what others have and look at what God has blessed us with. He will take care of our every need, and we will be satisfied right to the core. Amen.
